If I let you into my temple, my personal church of the redeemed
I trust you to not desecrate the children's graves
I trust you to not take my good will for granted
keep me sacred, keep me holy
keep me from falling from grace again
never take my forgiveness for granted
never forgive me unless I have earned it
break my body into smaller and smaller pieces until I'm nothing but ashes
burn my church down, throw my symbols into the sea
and once again, rebuild my holy place
any old shed will do
I will rise along with the sun in the morning
and bless you with a kiss from the light
